About the Tool

Enter your city into the Cost of Police tool created by the Action Center on Race & the Economy (ACRE) to find out what percentage of your city’s operating budget goes to police.

This tool was developed by Action Center on Race and the Economy (ACRE), using data from the most recently approved city budget. Data is current as of fiscal year 2020. Click text underneath the pie chart for a link to the source used. Stay tuned for an updated and expanded city budget tool from ACRE in time for the 2021 budget season!

PLEASE WAIT FOR THE TOOL TO LOAD – THIS MAY TAKE A MOMENT.
